To make these sushi sandwich rolls (idea originally seen in Lunch Boxes and Snacks by Annabel Karmel), cut crusts off a slice of bread and roll flat with a rolling pin. Obviously, white bread is preferred, but all we had was whole wheat so it had to suffice.

Spread with salmon salad (or tuna salad).

Place shredded carrots and sliced cucumbers as shown.

Roll tightly and press ends together to seal.

Here's how it looks on end. Slice and place on end to enjoy! See these at work in MisterMan's bento. ^_^

Hi Annette,For salmon salad, I use canned salmon, mashed into small pieces with mayo (or you can use plain yogurt) until it has a good consistency. I add chopped onion and celery, plus garlic powder, mustard powder, and chili if you like it spicy. You can also add pickle relish too; actually this would give a nice green spot in the sushi rolls :)

Thanks a lot Deborah! Do try it, I bet you'll get lots of attention while you enjoy your fun "sushi"!Thanks for stopping by - I'm glad you can use these fun and healthy ideas for yourself! I appreciate your nice comments!

I am a former research scientist turned stay-at-home-mom of 2 who got started with bento in an effort to help my kids learn that eating healthy and nutritious foods can be fun and cute. I make a bento lunch for my 14yo (9th grade) son & my 10yo (5th grade) daughter every school day, and post the pictures on my sherimiya ♥ flickr photostream. Here in this blog is where I describe each bento, and you'll also get a peek inside our family adventures. Thanks for taking a look, and please let me know what you think ^-^!
